Apple has been swamped by complaints about error 3200 messages after thousands of iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users tried to download its new iOS5 system.

Announced at the same time as the new iPhone 4S, the operating system is intended to bring as many as 200 new features to older Apple devices, although for many users their first experience was decidedly underwhelming.

Error 3200 emerged as a trending topic on Twitter, while those who did manage to download the new operating system reported the process was very slow.

According to figures reported by Apple Insider, the company's server was only accepting around half of download requests and downloads were taking around 15 minutes.

1. And this is Late Breaking News because .......

9. Because it happened today and it affects hundreds of DU members? n/t

2. Closing itunes and re-opening seems to solve it.

3. Anyone had a problem closing out a podcast?

I came to the end of a selected podcast, and can't clear the screen to get back to the podcast directory.

4. Whoa! Let me just check my phone...

Nope, no effect on my Tracfone bar phone from Motorola. It's still working just fine.

10. No effect on empty soup can connected by strings, either.

No effect on empty soup can connected by strings, either-- for all its equivalent relevance.

However, I do understand our visceral desires to proudly advertise our belief that Coke/Pepsi is better than Pepsi/Coke.

5. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

____________ is a much superior ______. It isn't plagued with all those _________________.

Feel free to fill in the above template with whatever you want. (Just trying to make things easier for fanbois of every stripe.)

Oh, and I forgot: "I've been using _________ for ____ years and I've NEVER had a problem!".

6. Worked perfectly for my wife and I. It's their best update yet. nt

7. Educational Awareness in software and hardware launches for DUMMIES

1. Don't buy the first iteration of any new product. You will often pay way more for it than it's worth and you'll be the real life 'crash test dummies' if you volunteer. Knowing this fact, if you continue to proceed, you are on your own and I don't want to read your crash logs on DU.

2. Don't upgrade to the latest greatest O/S software the first week or so. If you do, see #1. I don't want to hear you whine about crowded internet infrastructure and your obviously pitiful pipeline to the web on DU either.

3. Republicans suck ass. That's what I want to hear on DU.

Enjoy.

8. Wise advice, and I agree with all of it, especially the part about Republicans! n/t
